In her own words

I moved to Portland more than two years ago now and am still getting to know the area. I absolutely love it here though, all the activities outside-there's always some fun thing you can do every season. I grew up in Tennessee and have spent a little time traveling since then. Well, a lot traveling, but really love my roots here now. I taught English in South America for a year and also worked as a nurse in Africa for 8 months. Various other trips and travel anesthesia for three years left me living out of suitcase and pretty worn out from hotels. It's so nice to be in one place for a little bit, having access to all my outside toys and books. ;-)
I am a creative gal who loves the outdoors and seeing the world. I am quiet at first, but I love to tease and have a good time. I would love to meet someone who appreciates adventure and who has a beautiful heart, a gentle man who can be my best friend. I'm looking for "non-players" and someone who is grounded, preferably well-read. But most of all, a nice guy.

I love anything outdoors: white water kayaking, rock-climbing, mountain biking, snow-skiing, and wakeboarding. I also love photography, volunteering, and traveling. On my down time though - I appreciate a good movie or book.
